Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an impressive $259.99, with shipping included. You can grab this fantastic deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've seen, with it briefly hitting $249 during last year's Black Friday rush before selling out. The reason for this price drop? The new 11th generation iPad has been announced and is now available for preorder on Amazon, set to ship in March.

We've crowned this model as the best overall iPad for 2025. For most users, this iPad strikes the perfect balance—it offers nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system with snappy performance at an affordable price. The 10th gen iPad boasts a 10.9-inch display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of internal storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and is compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While a newer iPad model is on the horizon, the incremental upgrades might not justify the extra cost for many.

If you're ready to spend an additional $70-$90, you can preorder the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad. It comes equipped with the more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of internal storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available on this model. While the upgrades are incremental, they might be worthwhile if you plan to use your iPad for the long term.
